Hi, I have moved to the canadian rockies to ski here for a season and I’m not sure what ski I should go for. I am a pretty advanced skier growing up close to the alps, however I used to mostly ski on groomers and on skinnier carver type skis though I did venture out into deeper snow sometimes. Now that I’m here I’ve heard that theres a lot more powder and off piste skiing available that I want to try. I am thinking of the Kore 93 due to it being able to do groomers well while still allowing me to explore other parts of the mountain too. Is that correct?

I am looking at a few of these for a telemark kit. I used to ski the Rossi B2 bandits and love to make quick tele turns. I am leaning towards the Nordica Navigator 90. Anyone with any experience or thoughts?

I want to add a ski to my 122 powders and simply can’t decide which waist I want… Most of my skiing is done in Japan and New Zealand… The 122’s still work on NZ slopes, but the smaller waist will work better… I do ski up to 6hrs when I’m out and I’m a Salomon lover, but the Dynastar or Volkl seem to be great…? Maybe 100mm is a better transition waist from 122?

Fantastic video. You clearly know a lot and are passionate about the subject! I’m 185cm and between 75 and 80 kg’s, upper intermediate to expert. I’m looking at the Experience 88 Ti and the Enforcer 93, I think the Brahma is too stiff for my liking and the XDR probably too soft. The Rossi’s with that vertical metal and the Nordica with the thinner sheets seem to be right in that middle, is that right? I’m also wondering about which length I should go for with an All Mountain Ski. In the Enforcers I’d definitely go for the 185 as the next shorter and taller sizes are too far away, but the Rossi comes in 180 and 187 so I’m not sure whether the 180 would be too short or the 187 too unwieldy. Could you shine any light on that for me? Thanks!

Brahma is Great Ski and It is demanding. I went with Bushwacker which is Minus Titanium of Brahma.
Hope it’s still fun.
Carving was my key focus when picking out skis, groomed side Blizzard will do, and powder side, Head Kore 93 will the the job.
Also, I used Ceramic Coat for Kore 93, additional protection.

Does anyone actually watch this 35 min video, finish and say “ah, sweet, I know exactly what ski to buy”??
Basic take away… do you want a full two sheet metal or lighter carbon layup ski?

I’m in the spot where I would have to try at least half of those skis to truly understand any of the comparisons. Your videos are good but really doesn’t help decide what ski to buy. It would almost be better to do head to head comparisons of very similar skis and declare one better than the other. 99% of people don’t have time to test all these skis

I’m a skier who really loves groomers and my dad is a snowboarder who loves hitting the powder so I really want to improve my off piste skiing so what ski would you recommend out of these if I was to ski 80% groomers and 20% powder? I am intermediate-advanced / advanced. Thanks!

Hey, i’m a ski race coach and grew up racing. I have the cochise and Im looking for a ski more focused on carving and off piste on non powder days. I ski very aggressively and am 225 lbs. Would you recommend the Brahma or Enforcer 93s?

Always great videos. I am torn between the QST 92 and the Kore 93. I spend a lot of time in the trees and am want to learn to ski moguls this year. Any suggestion for which one would be better for moguls and quick turns between the trees while still retaining some stability in typical firmer east coast conditions when I am on the trails?

This was just terrific. Thank you very much. What do you think about running those Enforcer 93s at a slightly shorter length? I’m 55, 180 pounds, 5’10’, and an aggressive skier. I am especially interested in something I can run hard and fast into tight trees and steep terrain on days when there’s lots of crud and hard pack and not much in the way of fresh turns to be found. What length would you suggest?

I can’t decide between the Blizzard Rustler 9 and Rustler 10.I live in Austria and we don’t get that much powder.I SKI 60% off piste 40% on piste.When I’m on piste I ski fast but playful (hitting jumps on the side of the piste…).In general I prefer a playful SKI that is able to carve a good turn.Thanks in advance.

Nice set. I watch your video’s all the time. Next thing you guys need is a microphone clipped to your shirt. I’m not kidding. Audio needs work. (it’s not horrible, but it could be better if you’re looking for improvements)

Thanks for the well-done in-depth overview! My situation is that I’m just getting back into skiing (at 60 y/old) from about a 10/12 year gap. I was trained to ski as a kid in the old “super-parallel” style which I am realizing is not really good technique by today’s standards! Definitely not a strong carving style! (So I guess I need to take some lessons and re-learn!) Anyways, I have old Solomon Axendo Series skis which I am very comfortable with and are very stable at speed on groomed slopes. When I have demoed the new skis, I feel like I can’t ski very well at all. Of the four or five I tried, I think the K2 Pinnacle 88 (last year’s) was “less bad” for me. Any tips on what skis I should try? Thanks!
